Loving these autumn days. The light is so lovely and gentle. The grape vine on our back fence has changed into its autumn shades and the leaves are slowly dropping to the ground. Crunchy dry leaves from elm and plane trees are floating down the streets all over town at the moment. So lovely to walk in! A favourite spot to ride my bike at this time of year is the gorgeously autumnal Royal Parade, apparently an old northern stock route in the 1800s. The canopy of leaves is so lovely along there. Such pretty golden yellows.
It's definitely chai weather now. I'm aiming to make this classic French pear tart over the weekend. I made it last year and cannot describe how good and rich and buttery it was.
Oh you and that pear tart. Just when I was resolving to not eat too much this weekend.
ReplyDeleteHow's the Allende "Island Beneath the Sea" that I see you're reading?
Kate - loving the book but it's quite the tome so is taking me a while. Almost finished. A really great tale. She sure knows how to tell one!
ReplyDeleteJust bought 250g of butter needed for the tart. Or is it 260g? :)
